Transformation
“True happiness... is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
—Helen Keller”
Transformation is a duel process that, first and most importantly, preserves what has purpose and, second, recognizes what is ready to evolve.
Innovation
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them.
— Albert Einstein”
Today, with technological disruptions effecting most industries, many corporations are building innovation labs or partnering with innovation agencies to drive innovation and build proprietary business technologies.
“What gets measured, gets managed.
—Peter Drucker ”
AI and machine learning will speed up reporting and organizations will be able to turn their focus to embedding ESG priorities within their R&D and innovation efforts.
innovation system
An organization’s capacity for innovation stems from an innovation system: a coherent set of interdependent processes and structures that dictates how the company searches for novel problems and solutions, synthesizes ideas into a business concept and product designs, and selects which projects get funded.
— Harvard Business Review
